While Qin Ke Wei was resting at home, she suddenly received an unexpected notification: "Miss Qin Ke Wei, your husband was killed by Yue Heng Yi this morning. Yue Heng Yi has now been arrested. Please come to the Tian Long Bureau to claim the body."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Ke Wei nearly collapsed. She had never imagined that He Kan Wen, who had been accompanying her for the past few months, was already dead.
Qin Ke Wei's feelings for He Kan Wen were complex. They had grown up together, true childhood sweethearts, and naturally became a couple as they grew older. However, He Kan Wen often fooled around outside, didn't work, and instead used Qin Ke Wei's money to support other women. Qin Ke Wei found this behavior unbearable and had originally planned to break up with him decisively.
Later, Qin Ke Wei unexpectedly obtained an ability-enhancing agent. She had intended to give it to He Kan Wen as a final gift before breaking up, believing that with such a precious gift, he would no longer pester her. However, in this situation, an accident occurred!
To save Qin Ke Wei, Yue Heng Yi and Shen Feng were swallowed by a giant sea beast. This scene deeply affected Qin Ke Wei, leaving her in a daze for days. It was during this time that He Kan Wen appeared. He had changed from his usual dissolute self and began to take meticulous care of Qin Ke Wei.
Eventually, Qin Ke Wei married He Kan Wen, to repay him for his meticulous care during that period. Without him, Qin Ke Wei would have found it difficult to emerge from her shadow.
But today, Qin Ke Wei suddenly received devastating news: He Kan Wen had been killed, and the killer was Yue Heng Yi. Qin Ke Wei's mood plummeted, and she didn't know what to do.
However, since a person was dead, Qin Ke Wei had no choice but to leave her dormitory and, in a daze, head towards the Tian Long Bureau. At this moment, she felt lost, unsure of how this matter would be resolved.
The Tian Long Bureau was quite a distance from the Ability Administration Bureau. Qin Ke Wei walked slowly, taking an hour to finally arrive at the Tian Long Bureau.
As she entered the Tian Long Bureau, someone immediately came to greet her. Upon closer inspection, it was Yang Yun He, who often treated her. Qin Ke Wei recognized him as the one who treated her severe headaches and even erased the unpleasant memories from the treatment process.
Yang Yun He's ability was memory modification, but he could only use it on those with weaker mental strength than himself. Simple memory modification could not completely erase memories. Such ability users had no other option but to stay at the Yan Jing Tian Long Bureau.
At this moment, Yang Yun He saw Qin Ke Wei and immediately walked up to her, saying sternly, "Miss Qin, you're here? We called you here to claim the body. Please, come this way!"
Hearing this, Qin Ke Wei's face turned pale. "Is what you're saying true?"
Yang Yun He nodded. "Yes, what we said is true. Your husband, He Kan Wen, is indeed dead. The killer has been caught; it was Yue Heng Yi."
Qin Ke Wei's body swayed, and she felt immense pain in her heart. She hadn't expected that the last person to stay by her side, her closest relative, was also dead. At this very moment, Qin Ke Wei suddenly felt a headache. She touched her head and murmured, "My head hurts so much. I feel like I'm about to remember something."
Seeing this, Yang Yun He was startled. "Could it be that Qin Ke Wei is stimulated and about to recall past memories?"
Yang Yun He knew what he had done. If Qin Ke Wei regained her memories, he would surely be torn to shreds. He quickly said, "Quick, go inside and sit down. I'll treat you. You must have recalled some bad memories, and I'll seal them away for you immediately."
Human memory is stored in the brain. Therefore, when the brain is damaged, memory becomes confused, and many things cannot be recalled. Yang Yun He's method works by acting on human nerve cells. As long as the nerve cells storing memories are sealed, that part of the memory is effectively lost.
Qin Ke Wei sat in a room at the Tian Long Bureau, and Yang Yun He quickly used his ability to seal away some of Qin Ke Wei's memories. Qin Ke Wei felt much better afterward.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang. If it weren't for you, I would have surely died from the headaches sooner or later," Qin Ke Wei said gratefully after recovering.
Yang Yun He smiled and replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Next, Yang Yun He led Qin Ke Wei to a sealed room. Upon entering, they saw a long table covered with a white cloth. Beneath the cloth lay He Kan Wen's corpse.
When Qin Ke Wei saw this scene upon entering the room, her face turned deathly pale. Even though she was an ability user, she couldn't remain calm in the face of a loved one's death, especially someone who had taken such meticulous care of her during her lowest point.
Next, Qin Ke Wei reached for the white cloth on the table, intending to lift it.
Yang Yun He quickly said, "Don't lift it, please don't lift it! He Kan Wen died horribly. His head was crushed by a cement slab that fell from above, turning him into a pulp. There's nothing to see if you open it."
Qin Ke Wei was silent for a moment, then lifted the white cloth. Qin Ke Wei had already killed so many zombies and mutated beasts, and had seen countless bloody scenes. Now, it was just a dead person, and it wouldn't scare her.
After lifting the white cloth, Qin Ke Wei saw a mess of white and red on the table. It was impossible to make out anything. Yang Yun He's earlier description of a "pulp" wasn't even accurate; a watermelon wouldn't be this mangled.
"Miss Qin, stop looking. I think you should focus on getting revenge," Yang Yun He urged.
Hearing this, Qin Ke Wei couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you already catch the killer? Why are you telling me to get revenge now?"
Yang Yun He replied earnestly, "We also want to avenge He Kan Wen as soon as possible. After all, Yang Yun He and I are old acquaintances. However, we also need to consider the subsequent impact. Because this incident involves Yu Zhou, Yue Heng Yi's sudden attack on Yan Jing today might have been instigated by Shen Feng. We need to consider these adverse effects."
After Yang Yun He finished speaking, Qin Ke Wei fell silent. She suddenly remembered that if she were to avenge He Kan Wen, Yue Heng Yi would inevitably be killed.
Qin Ke Wei could still recall the scene of Yue Heng Yi eagerly following her on missions. At that time, Yue Heng Yi was a naive and energetic young man. But now, he had killed her husband. This was simply unacceptable. She refused to believe that someone she considered like a younger brother had killed her husband.
Revenge meant that she would have to personally kill Yue Heng Yi.
Thinking of this, Qin Ke Wei felt a pang of sadness and then said, "We'll talk about this later. For now, I just want to take my husband for burial."
Seeing this, Yang Yun He quickly signaled to someone in the distance. Immediately, someone walked over and said to Qin Ke Wei, "Miss Qin, we've suddenly received a secret document regarding Yue Heng Yi. Please come and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ke Wei, though heartbroken, followed the person. After all, they were within Yan Jing City, and she wouldn't encounter any danger, would she?
However, Qin Ke Wei was eventually led to an underground room. Here, the walls were made of steel. If one brought enough food and water and hid underground, they would be safe from any danger. It was virtually impossible to break in from the outside.
Qin Ke Wei looked at the base beneath the Tian Long Bureau and felt a sense of unease. She didn't know where this unease came from, but she felt that the conversation taking place here seemed wrong. Although no one could eavesdrop, it was equally difficult for her to leave.
Finally, Qin Ke Wei was led into a secret chamber, where Long Qian was already waiting.
Upon seeing Qin Ke Wei, Long Qian smiled and said, "Miss Qin, no, it should be Captain Qin. I have some secret documents about Yue Heng Yi. Would you like to know?"
Qin Ke Wei sat down directly and replied, "That's why I came. Tell me what these secret documents are now."
Long Qian smiled and said, "The reason these are secret documents is that ordinary people are unaware of their existence. Moreover, there is a price to pay to view these documents. I heard that Captain Qin has over a dozen ability-enhancing agents. Is that true? You also know the current situation of our Tian Long Bureau. We'd like to borrow these ability-enhancing agents and return them to you when we're in a better financial situation. What do you say?"
Hearing this, Qin Ke Wei immediately stood up and turned to leave, saying coldly, "You really take me for a three-year-old. It's one thing to try and trick me out of ability-enhancing agents, but to fabricate so many stories! Let me tell you, I don't have a single ability-enhancing agent!"
After speaking, Qin Ke Wei turned to leave, giving Long Qian no face at all.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Long Qian wasn't too disappointed, as he hadn't intended to convince her. He had made thorough preparations.
At that, Long Qian clapped his hands and said, "Act!"
As the words fell, two people suddenly appeared outside the secret chamber. Both were dressed in casual attire and wore masks. The two rushed forward and immediately used their abilities. One of them grew numerous vines that bound Qin Ke Wei, while the other released hypnotic waves to hypnotize her.
"What are you doing? I'm a captain of the Ability Administration Bureau. Are you trying to kill a comrade?" Qin Ke Wei immediately questioned.
Although affected by hypnosis, Qin Ke Wei was a powerful ability user and not easily hypnotized. Her mental state was affected, but she hadn't fallen asleep.
"You're unwilling to lend us the ability-enhancing agents, but our Tian Long Bureau must develop. So, we have no choice but to resort to this. Don't worry, we will avenge you. We will judge Yue Heng Yi and make sure he dies!" Long Qian said with a cold smile.
Originally, Long Qian was unwilling to use such violent means to obtain ability-enhancing agents. If he had time, he would have used a "boiling frog in warm water" approach. As long as he could eventually obtain the ability-enhancing agents, that would be enough. However, after being threatened by Gong Chang Fa today, Long Qian realized that he no longer had time to slowly acquire ability-enhancing agents. Now, he could only take forceful measures and forcibly seize the ability-enhancing agents in Qin Ke Wei's possession.
Qin Ke Wei quickly tried to use her abilities, but this was in the Tian Long Bureau's base. The ground was made of steel plates, with no soil. She couldn't use her abilities at all.
"Thump, thump..." The soil beneath the steel plates kept impacting, as if trying to break through the steel plate's obstruction. The Tian Long Bureau's base began to shake. On the ground, Qin Ke Wei's abilities were not to be underestimated.
However, at this moment, Yang Yun He walked over and smiled, saying, "Miss Qin, you're too agitated. Let me calm you down. Don't worry, you'll forget everything very soon."
